Lyrics[]

So you think you can own me,
Well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, Woman,
Cause I ain't like those other men
There's something burning inside me,
That makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey,
You better keep away from me

There's things in life now, baby,
That I know I've got to do
And I need your love now, baby,
To help me see it through
So you think you can own me,
Well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now,
Woman, cause I ain't like those other men
Look out, yeah

So you think you can own me,
Well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, Woman,
Cause I ain't like those other men
There's something burning inside me,
That makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey,
You better keep away from me
